After adjusting the worm the desired degree, thead usting n'iechanism iscovered by I a cap 80-threaded to a circular bead iOprojecting aboi' ethe cover 5, the cap screwing down pressure tight against the finishedouter This cap is provided with one or more drilled sealing lugs42,andthe cover with a SlinlldI cooperating lug'ail, and if desired thebodyot the device with a further cooperating lug at 44 so thatythedevice alter being once set and thecap screwed on may be sealedbythe'ofiicial sealer with wire and a lead seal as indicatedat e5.

An Optional adjustment of "the capacity piston is shown in Fig. 5wherein the end of the threaded stem 34 is slotted for turning with ascrewdriver and is then secured with a simple lock nut 46, the wholebeing covered by La threaded cap 39f fitting pressure tight ted to'theinlet 12 and a delivery pipe to the outlet 13, the pointer 14 is turnedto 'zero, the

In contemplating my meter it will beseen that itmay readily be assembledby placing in position'all the parts including the entire train ofindicating gears without securing them in any way except by the closures5 and '16. i
